Returning "BT Turn" |
| Description: |
This is probably a BT Turn. Date is an estimate, location _ppears to be the connector track between the New York Susquehanna and Western and Conrai's Bergen County Line. If you look closely at the upper section of the short&high hood, you can see where the New York Central "Cigar Band" era number is starting to come through the black paint. #5652 was delivered to the New York Central in September of 1951 as a class DRS-4e. It retained its number under Penn Central, as a class ERS-15. It never did get Conrail paint, winding up in the Elizabethport scrap line by 1983. |

"BT Turn" heads down the connector track |
| Description: |
Probably a BT Turn running southeast on the connector track from Chnrail's Bergen County Line down to the Suquehanna, but this is an educated guess. Date is also an estimate. If you look closely at the long hood, you can see an "Erie Diamond" peeking through the Erie Lackawanna paint. #5969 was built by EMD in April 1952 as Erie #1231 (a class MFSE-15). It kept the same number through its Erie Lackawanna years. |
